So if I steal any yarn, you won't know, right? <3Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323919836122768592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090831403111240801.post-34844153317574675022011-08-22T16:34:18.391-07:002011-08-22T16:34:18.391-07:00I can only read two or three pages of any prenancy...I can only read two or three pages of any prenancy/parenting/birthing book and then I get sleepy. It is the same for fun fiction too. Read a page and yawn. Read two pages and close my eyes. I hope this gets better in the second trimester!Knittrippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604941588188554396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090831403111240801.post-49957441633724137192011-08-20T02:50:40.901-07:002011-08-20T02:50:40.901-07:00Hiya Jasmin...

My 5 yr old Eleanor, (I also have a 7yr old Harriet/Hattie) wants to be a "Bampire" so that she can stay up with Mama and Dadda and sleep all day as to avoid school!!! A good parenting book for me was Up The Duff by Kaz Cooke, an Australian author (I live in Sydney). It provides common sense tips. Her second book is called Kid Wrangling and also provides useful info pertaining to fussy eaters, fussy sleepers and lots of other useful info. If you can't grab them on Amazon let me know and I will send them on.

I learned to walk by yanking myself up by her fur, and used to play chef by making her plates of plastic food (which she'd obligingly pick up and carry back to my toy chest).lizzlizzlizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610427628172071122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090831403111240801.post-40253012435375169902011-08-18T11:54:41.751-07:002011-08-18T11:54:41.751-07:00Wait..what....?

We're NOT supposed to live in a giant ball of yarn leftovers?! ;)<br /><br />By the way, the Missy-cat loves clean laundry about as much as Elphie, if not more. Folded, clean laundry. She has yet to crawl into the basket with the freshly laundered clothes, but I wouldn't put it past her on a cold day. Consequently, everything I own eventually turns "tabby".... :-/Mairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609496448409898868noreply@blogger.com
